Pick one that seems cool. Build something with it. Share it on HN; you will get comments like "Cool-- but why are you using X instead of Y?"

Repeat using Y.

I'm not sure why you are getting downvoted. Although I don't feel you necessarily need to share it on HN, the best way is the build some simple apps and find out for yourself what the libraries are all about.

It's not downvoted right now, so I think most people get what I'm saying. I think it's important to get feedback from the community, but I agree you don't need to show everything to HN, as most random projects won't get a lot of attention here-- and I think you've picked out my real point that no blog is a substitute for getting your hands dirty.

But there is a good chance the response will be "Cool -- but why are you using Y instead of X?".

Repeat using X.
